Our journey begins on July 1st. We drive from Bischofszell to Eibelstadt and will spend one night there.
On the trip it rained all the way to Eibelstadt, the trip was very pleasant because there are not too many trucks on this route.

On the 2nd day we drive from Eibelstadt to Garlstorf to spend a night there before we head towards Sweden.
On the way to Garlstorf, there were a few more trucks on the autobahn. Since it was Saturday, it was limited. Otherwise the ride was as we had imagined, first up and down a few hills and then more flat. Despite the long distance, we made good progress and arrived safely at our destination.

On the 3rd day we travel via Lübeck by ferry from Puttgarden to Rodby and further over the Faro Bridges to Copenhagen and from there over the Öresund Bridge to Malmö. From there it is only a short drive to Lomma to the campsite.
Before this stage, I was most concerned about whether everything would work out with the ferry and the bridge, since we bought a combined ticket in advance.

Before this stage, I was most concerned about whether everything would work out with the ferry and the bridge, since we bought a combined ticket in advance.
We decided to buy a combination ticket for the ferry and the Öresund Bridge. This allows us to use the ferry and the bridge without long waiting times. The ticket costs us 395 euros
We got to the ferry an hour early. Do we have to wait now or not? No ticket shown and off to the ferry. As soon as we had drunk the coffee, we had to leave the ferry again and continue the journey with our team.
When we arrived at the Öresund Bridge, we presented the ticket again and the crossing to Sweden could begin, where we arrived after a short drive.

Our journey now takes us to the island of Öland.
The journey took us mostly on country roads and almost no motorways. In some villages the speed is limited to 30 km/h. The route is peppered with a number of radar boxes, but these are indicated in advance with a traffic sign. nevertheless, we made good progress and arrived at our destination without stress.

The campsite is a holiday destination for campers with families, but it was also very pleasant for us
Activities:
We visited the north side of the island with the lighthouse "Langer Erik" and the ruins of Borgholm Castle. We didn't treat ourselves to a visit to the summer residence of the King of Sweden near Borgholm.
On the second day, the south side of the island with the lighthouse "Langer Jan" was on the agenda. We also visited the windmills at Lerkaka in the middle of the island.

After spending the night on the island of Öland, our journey continues. Of course, a visit to the Swiss-run campsite in Ankarsrum should not be missed. Here we hope to be able to communicate in Swiss German and to meet one or the other camper from Switzerland.
The journey was mostly on the same roads as the sections before.

Activities:
The campsite is visited by many Swiss people!
Ideal base for visiting Vimmerby, home of Astrid Lindgren. We also visited the MX World Museum (Motocross) in Vimmerby. A visit to the farms of the series "Wir Kinder von Bullerbü" was also included. A visit to "Katthult", the home of Michel from Löneberga, was also a must. At the end we made a detour to the Runkestein (wobble stone) of Mariannelund. On the second day we went on an extended boat tour on the "Langsjön" lake. As a campsite user, we could rent the boat directly from the reception.

After the nights in Ankarsrum, our journey takes us to the capital of Sweden.
The drive to Stockholm was pleasant, the closer we got to Stockholm the more traffic there was and the motorways became like ours again.

Here in the vicinity of Stockholm we will spend a first and last time 4 nights.
campsite
Costs: 62 euros per night for 2 people including caravan and car
Sanitary facilities: outdated and not maintained, and not clean, hot water was scarce
Bread: had to be procured by yourself
Wi-Fi: free but reception was very poor
Terrain: Gravel grass mixed with natural grass
Electricity: included
The campsite left a lot to be desired for its cost. It is an absolute tourist demolition!!!
Activities:
There was a lot to see in Stockholm, as we were about 20km from the city center we used public transport to get there and back.
On the one hand, the old town "Gamla Stan" is highly recommended with its many different shops and the really beautiful and well-kept houses. The island "Djurgarden" can be reached by scheduled boat included in the public transport ticket and houses an amusement park as well as the "Vasa Museum" and several other museums. Also on the island, which is close to the city center, is probably the most famous museum in Stockholm, namely the "ABBA" museum, which of course was also visited. The "Avicii Arena" or Globe Arena with the "Skyview" the outside elevator from which you have an outstanding view over the city should not be missing either. Right next to it is the "Tele 2 Arena", the football stadium. Of course, a boat trip from Stockholm to Vaxholm in the famous archipelago was a must.

After the days in Stockholm, our journey continues to Skoghall near Karlstadt.
Here we drove again as usual on the two-lane highway to Skoghall. the journey was pleasant, except for the 20 km long detour which was poorly signposted.

In Skoghall we will pitch our tents for 3 nights!

Wi-Fi: free and good reception
Terrain: natural grass
Electricity: included
Activities:
If you like hiking, this is the right place for you in this area. The landscape with its lakes and forests is simply made for it. Here we dedicated a whole day to our hobby geocaching in order to achieve the goal of the 81 matrix in one day, which we finally succeeded in doing. Here we also had the only breakdown of the whole trip, a flat tire on the car. Anyone who imagined that the flat tire was fixed quickly was wrong. Either garage holidays or breakdown service doesn't come forever. After four hours of sitting around, we took the bus back to the campsite and returned the next day with a spare wheel and had the flat tire repaired in Karlstadt.

Our further way leads us to Norway to be precise to Greaker. From here, we will visit Oslo.
The route took us once again over normal motorways
to Norway. This stage was also pleasant to drive.
On this stretch, the topography of the landscape has changed from forest in the east to coastal mountains in the west.

Terrain: natural grass
Electricity: included
Activities:
Since we had to realize that Oslo is just a bit far away with a journey time of just over an hour by car and not very good public transport connections, we changed our program. We rode our e-bikes to Frederikstad and made an extended visit to the beautiful and specially designed old town. Since we still had a second day available, geocaching was announced once more. We chose a round where we found pretty much everything in terms of terrain. From dirt roads to no path somewhere in the forest and sandy roads, everything was there.

After our detour to Norway, our journey takes us back to Sweden. We will stay in Torslanda before moving on.
On the drive from Norway back to Sweden, we quickly noticed that this highway is the main traffic axis from Oslo to Malmö and beyond. Despite the additional traffic, the trip was good and easy to manage.

We will spend 3 nights at this campsite one last time before we start our return journey towards Switzerland.
campsite
Costs: 35 euros per night for 2 people including caravan and car
Sanitary facilities: are located on the other side of the street about 150m away, appropriately furnished, cleaned several times a day, showers are included
Bread: we had it with us!
Wi-Fi: free and good reception
Terrain: natural grass
Electricity: included
Specifics: The campsite is on the other side of the road from the site and is in poor condition as far as the meadows are concerned (depressions where a large lake forms when it rains).
Activities:
Since the campsite is about 20 km outside of Gothenburg, we used public transport to get to Gothenburg, which is absolutely no problem. In Gothenburg we visited the very beautiful old town "Haga" and looked around. In Haga in the Cafe Husaren there is the largest cinnamon roll in the world, called "Hagabulle". Of course we had to try them too. A Hagabulle is absolutely sufficient for two people to eat their fill. One day was planned for geocaching, in order to salvage the many solved question marks (81 pieces) with a fishing pole. However, we had to abandon the task of rescuing everyone because it would have taken far too long and we still had to ride our e-bikes back to the campsite.

Slowly but surely we are heading home again. Our next destination is in Trelleborg. On the way to Trelleborg we will cross our itinerary from the beginning in Malmö.
Now that the trip is definitely going home, a longer route was on the plan. The Autobahn is well developed and we had a pleasant drive ahead of us.

If everything goes well, after 6 hours of crossing we will slowly have solid ground under our feet and wheels again.
The crossing was calm and pleasant with no rough seas, so we arrived in Rostock on time and were able to continue our journey.

On the ferry "FS Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" we continue on the Baltic Sea to Rostock. During the crossing we enjoy a rich breakfast on board. The ferry including breakfast costs us 259 euros!
We spent the time on the ferry eating breakfast, playing and reading. Unfortunately, it's the same here as everywhere else where the food is at the buffet and you can get as much as you want. There are people who fill their plates until they overflow and then throw half of them away.

So now we have reached the mainland again and we can continue on our journey.
Arrived at the ferry terminal, we went back to the mainland. Since three or four ferries had just docked, we had to be patient until the journey could be continued.

After leaving the ferry in Rostock, we still have to drive to Wustrau and move into our next quarters.
The drive from Rostock to the campsite went without incident. This is despite the fact that the motorway is not in very good condition. It rumbled and jerked on all sides and the pace had to be kept rather low.

The campsite is a fine but small place. The groundsman is very helpful and friendly. You can swim in the lake within a 5-minute walk. The village is exactly how we imagine a village in the former GDR to be.

After spending the night in Wustrau, we take big steps towards home. Our last stop in Nuremberg.
Now came one of the longest stretches of our journey. The journey went south on the A7. The further south we got, the more traffic there was. Nevertheless, the route could be completed without any problems with one stopover.

But now the trip is finally going home to Bischofszell without another planned overnight stay.
We were also able to complete the last stretch without incident. The closer we got to Bregenz, the more traffic there was, as the summer holidays in the federal states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg began this weekend. We made one last stop at the motorway service area near Bregenz before we cycled the last few kilometers.

We made one last stop at the motorway service area near Bregenz before we cycled the last few kilometers.
Hopefully we've gotten home safely. I already hope that we have taken a large backpack with memories and beautiful places home with us.
Happy and full of new impressions we are now back home and can state the following.
We covered a total of 4540 km (about 2000 km went through Germany twice)
We used diesel for 1065.- Fr. (thanks to the high diesel prices)
I would do the same again on a next tour like this. I would book and reserve the campsites and ferries and more in advance!
The duration of 3 nights per campsite has turned out to be optimal. There was enough time to see around the area.

Am 01.Juli geht unsere Reise los. Wir fahren von Bischofszell nach Eibelstadt und werden dort eine Nacht verbringen.
Auf der Fahrt regente es den ganzen Weg bis nach Eibelstadt, die Fahrt war sehr angenehm, da es auf dieser Route nicht all zu viele LKW unterwegs hat.
- 49.7239 10.1029
- 49° 43' 26.1" N 10° 6' 10.5" E

- 49° 43' 53.8" N 9° 59' 15" E
Am 2.Tag fahren wir von Eibelstadt nach Garlstorf um auch dort eine Nacht zu verbringen bevor es dann Richtung Schweden geht.
Auf der Fahrt nach Garlstorf waren einige LKW mehr auf der Autobahn anzutreffen. Da es Samstag war, hielt es sich aber in Grenzen. Ansonsten war die Fahrt wie es wir uns vorgestellt hatten, zuerst einige Hügel rauf und runter und danach eher eben. Trotz der grossen Distanz kamen wir gut vorwärts und kamen sicher am Ziel an.
- 53.2233 10.0882
- 53° 13' 23.7" N 10° 5' 17.4" E
Am 3. Tag fahren wir via Lübeck mit der Fähre von Puttgarden nach Rodby und weiter über die Faro Brücken nach Kopenhagen und von dort über die Öresundbrücke nach Malmö. Von dort aus ist es nur noch eine kurze Fahrt nach Lomma auf den Campingplatz.
Vor dieser Etappe hatte ich am meisten Respekt, ob alles klappt mit der Fähre und der Brücke, da wir ein Kombiticket im voraus gekauft haben.
Wir haben uns entschieden für die Fähre und die Öresund Brücke ein Kombiticket zu kaufen. Dies ermöglicht uns die Fähre und die Brücke ohne lange Wartezeiten zu benutzen. Das Ticket kostet uns 395.- Euro
An der Fähre sind wir eine Stunde zu früh angekommen. Müssen wir jetzt warten oder nicht? Nein Ticket gezeigt und ab auf die Fähre. Kaum hatten wir den Kaffee getrunken, mussten wir die Fähre auch schon wieder verlassen und die Reise mit unserem Gespann fortsetzen.
An der Öresundbrücke angekommen haben wir wiederum das Ticket vorgewiesen und es konnte die Überfahrt nach Schweden beginnen, wo wir dann nach kurzer Fahrt auch angekommen sind.
- 55.6902 13.0599
- 55° 41' 24.6" N 13° 3' 35.7" E
Nun geht es weiter von Lomma aus führt uns der Weg nach Karlshamn. Hier sind wiederum drei Übernachtungen geplant.
Jetzt stand uns eine kurze Fahrt bevor nach Karlshamn.
Chek-Out um 12.00 und Check-In um 15.00 Uhr, da blieb uns viel Zeit und wir mussten uns nicht beeilen.

Unsere Reise führt uns nun weiter auf die Insel Öland.
Die Fahrt führte uns mehrheitlich über Landstrassen und fast keine Autobahnen. Teilweise ist die Geschwindigkeit in Dörfern auf 30 km/h beschränkt. Die Strecke ist mit etlichen Radarkasten gespickt, diese werden aber im Vorfeld mit einem Verkehrsschild angezeigt. trotzdem sind wir gut voran gekommen und ohne Stress am Ziel angekommen.
Nach den Übernachtungen auf der Insel Öland geht unsere Reise weiter. Natürlich darf der Besuch des von Schweizern geführten Zeltplatzes in Ankarsrum nicht fehlen. Hier hoffen wir uns auf Schweizerdeutsch verständigen zu können und den einen oder anderen Camper aus der Schweiz antreffen werden.
Die fahrt verlief meistens wieder über die gleichen Strassen wie die Teilstecke zu vor.
- 57.6957 16.2897
- 57° 41' 44.4" N 16° 17' 23.1" E
Nach den Nächten in Ankarsrum führt uns unsere Reise in die Hauptstadt von Schweden.
Die Fahrt nach Stockholm war angenehm, je näher wir nach Stockholm kamen um so mehr wurde der Verkehr und die Autobahnen wurden auch wieder wie bei uns.
- 59.2483 18.1615
- 59° 14' 53.7" N 18° 9' 41.4" E
Nach den Tagen in Stockholm führt uns unsere Reise weiter nach Skoghall in der Nähe von Karlstadt.
Hier fuhren wir wieder wie gewohnt auf den zwei spurigen Autostrassen nach Skoghall. die Fahrt war angenehm, ausser der 20 km lange Umleitung die schlecht signalisiert war.
Unserer weitere Weg führt uns nach Norwegen genau gesagt nach Greaker. Von hier aus, werden wir Oslo besuchen.
Die Strecke führte uns wieder einmal über normale Autobahnen
nach Norwegen. Auch diese Etappe war angenehm zu fahren.
Bei dieser Strecke, hat sich die Topographie der Landschaft von Wald im Osten zu Küstengebirge im Westen geändert.
- 59.3183 10.9806
- 59° 19' 5.9" N 10° 58' 50.1" E
Nach unserem Abstecher nach Norwegen führt uns unsere Reise nach Schweden zurück. In Torslanda werden wir bleiben, bevor wir weiter ziehen.
Auf der Fahrt von Norwegen zurück nach Schweden, haben wir schnell gemerkt das diese Autobahn die Hauptverkehrsachse von Oslo nach Malmö und weiter ist. Trotz dem Mehrverkehr war die Fahrt gut und ohne Schwierigkeiten zu gewerkstelligen.
- 57.7434 11.7566
- 57° 44' 36.3" N 11° 45' 23.7" E
Langsam aber sicher geht es nun wieder Richtung nach Hause. Unser nächstes Ziel liegt in Trelleborg. Auf dem Weg nach Trelleborg werden wir in Malmö unsere Reiseroute vom Beginn kreuzen.
Jetzt da die Fahrt endgültig richtig nach Hause geht, war eine längere Fahrstrecke auf dem Plan. Die Autobahn ist gut ausgebaut und es stand uns eine angenehme Fahrt bevor.
- 55.3638 13.2092
- 55° 21' 49.5" N 13° 12' 33.3" E
Früh morgens erwartet uns die Fähre von Trelleborg nach Rostock.
Wir mussten früh aufstehen, da wir spätestens um 06.30 Uhr im Fährhafen eingecheckt haben mussten.
- 55.3724 13.1523
- 55° 22' 20.5" N 13° 9' 8.1" E
Wenn alles gut geht, haben wir nach 6 Stunden Überfahrt langsam wieder festen Boden unter den Füssen und Rädern.
Die Überfahrt verlief ruhig und angenehm ohne Seegang und so kamen wir pünktlich in Rostock an und konnten unsere Reise fortsetzen.
- 54.6298 12.6631
- 54° 37' 47.2" N 12° 39' 47.2" E
- 54.153 12.0983
- 54° 9' 10.9" N 12° 5' 53.7" E
Nach dem verlassen der Fähre in Rostock, müssen wir noch nach Wustrau fahren und unser nächstes Quartier beziehen.
Die Fahrt von Rostock zum Campingplatz verlief ohne Zwischenfall. Dies obwohl die Autobahn in einem nicht gerade sehr guten zustand ist. Es rumpelte und ruckelte auf alle Seiten und das Tempo musste eher tief gehalten werden.
Nach der Übernachtung in Wustrau geht es in grossen Schritten Richtung Heimat. Unser letzter Zwischenhalt in Nürnberg.
Jetzt kam eine der längsten Strecke unserer Reise. Die Fahrt ging auf der A7 Richtung Süden. Je weiter wir Richtung Süden kamen um so mehr Verkehr hatte es. Trotzdem war die Strecke ohne Probleme mit einem Zwischenhalt zu absolvieren.
- 49.4219 11.1214
- 49° 25' 19" N 11° 7' 17" E
Jetzt geht die Reise aber endgültig ohne weitere geplante Übernachtung nach Hause nach Bischofszell.
Auch die letzte Strecke konnten wir ohne Zwischenfälle noch bewältigen. Je mehr wir Richtung Bregenz kamen um so mehr wurde der Verkehr, da in den Bundesländern Bayern und Baden-Württemberg die Sommerferien an diesem Wochenende begannen. Einen letzten Halt machten wir noch auf der Autobahnraststätte bei Bregenz bevor wir die letzten Kilometer unter die Räder nahmen.

On the trip it rained all the way to Eibelstadt, the trip was very pleasant because there are not too many trucks on this route.

On the 2nd day we drive from Eibelstadt to Garlstorf to spend a night there before we head towards Sweden.
On the way to Garlstorf, there were a few more trucks on the autobahn. Since it was Saturday, it was limited. Otherwise the ride was as we had imagined, first up and down a few hills and then more flat. Despite the long distance, we made good progress and arrived safely at our destination.

On the 3rd day we travel via Lübeck by ferry from Puttgarden to Rodby and further over the Faro Bridges to Copenhagen and from there over the Öresund Bridge to Malmö. From there it is only a short drive to Lomma to the campsite.
Before this stage, I was most concerned about whether everything would work out with the ferry and the bridge, since we bought a combined ticket in advance.

Before this stage, I was most concerned about whether everything would work out with the ferry and the bridge, since we bought a combined ticket in advance.
We decided to buy a combination ticket for the ferry and the Öresund Bridge. This allows us to use the ferry and the bridge without long waiting times. The ticket costs us 395 euros
We got to the ferry an hour early. Do we have to wait now or not? No ticket shown and off to the ferry. As soon as we had drunk the coffee, we had to leave the ferry again and continue the journey with our team.
When we arrived at the Öresund Bridge, we presented the ticket again and the crossing to Sweden could begin, where we arrived after a short drive.

Our journey now takes us to the island of Öland.
The journey took us mostly on country roads and almost no motorways. In some villages the speed is limited to 30 km/h. The route is peppered with a number of radar boxes, but these are indicated in advance with a traffic sign. nevertheless, we made good progress and arrived at our destination without stress.

The campsite is a holiday destination for campers with families, but it was also very pleasant for us
Activities:
We visited the north side of the island with the lighthouse "Langer Erik" and the ruins of Borgholm Castle. We didn't treat ourselves to a visit to the summer residence of the King of Sweden near Borgholm.
On the second day, the south side of the island with the lighthouse "Langer Jan" was on the agenda. We also visited the windmills at Lerkaka in the middle of the island.

After spending the night on the island of Öland, our journey continues. Of course, a visit to the Swiss-run campsite in Ankarsrum should not be missed. Here we hope to be able to communicate in Swiss German and to meet one or the other camper from Switzerland.
The journey was mostly on the same roads as the sections before.

The campsite is visited by many Swiss people!
Ideal base for visiting Vimmerby, home of Astrid Lindgren. We also visited the MX World Museum (Motocross) in Vimmerby. A visit to the farms of the series "Wir Kinder von Bullerbü" was also included. A visit to "Katthult", the home of Michel from Löneberga, was also a must. At the end we made a detour to the Runkestein (wobble stone) of Mariannelund. On the second day we went on an extended boat tour on the "Langsjön" lake. As a campsite user, we could rent the boat directly from the reception.

Costs: 62 euros per night for 2 people including caravan and car

Wi-Fi: free but reception was very poor
Terrain: Gravel grass mixed with natural grass
Electricity: included
The campsite left a lot to be desired for its cost. It is an absolute tourist demolition!!!
Activities:
There was a lot to see in Stockholm, as we were about 20km from the city center we used public transport to get there and back.
On the one hand, the old town "Gamla Stan" is highly recommended with its many different shops and the really beautiful and well-kept houses. The island "Djurgarden" can be reached by scheduled boat included in the public transport ticket and houses an amusement park as well as the "Vasa Museum" and several other museums. Also on the island, which is close to the city center, is probably the most famous museum in Stockholm, namely the "ABBA" museum, which of course was also visited. The "Avicii Arena" or Globe Arena with the "Skyview" the outside elevator from which you have an outstanding view over the city should not be missing either. Right next to it is the "Tele 2 Arena", the football stadium. Of course, a boat trip from Stockholm to Vaxholm in the famous archipelago was a must.

Here we drove again as usual on the two-lane highway to Skoghall. the journey was pleasant, except for the 20 km long detour which was poorly signposted.

If you like hiking, this is the right place for you in this area. The landscape with its lakes and forests is simply made for it. Here we dedicated a whole day to our hobby geocaching in order to achieve the goal of the 81 matrix in one day, which we finally succeeded in doing. Here we also had the only breakdown of the whole trip, a flat tire on the car. Anyone who imagined that the flat tire was fixed quickly was wrong. Either garage holidays or breakdown service doesn't come forever. After four hours of sitting around, we took the bus back to the campsite and returned the next day with a spare wheel and had the flat tire repaired in Karlstadt.

Our further way leads us to Norway to be precise to Greaker. From here, we will visit Oslo.
The route took us once again over normal motorways
to Norway. This stage was also pleasant to drive.
On this stretch, the topography of the landscape has changed from forest in the east to coastal mountains in the west.

Since we had to realize that Oslo is just a bit far away with a journey time of just over an hour by car and not very good public transport connections, we changed our program. We rode our e-bikes to Frederikstad and made an extended visit to the beautiful and specially designed old town. Since we still had a second day available, geocaching was announced once more. We chose a round where we found pretty much everything in terms of terrain. From dirt roads to no path somewhere in the forest and sandy roads, everything was there.

After our detour to Norway, our journey takes us back to Sweden. We will stay in Torslanda before moving on.
On the drive from Norway back to Sweden, we quickly noticed that this highway is the main traffic axis from Oslo to Malmö and beyond. Despite the additional traffic, the trip was good and easy to manage.

Costs: 35 euros per night for 2 people including caravan and car
Sanitary facilities: are located on the other side of the street about 150m away, appropriately furnished, cleaned several times a day, showers are included
Bread: we had it with us!
Wi-Fi: free and good reception
Terrain: natural grass
Electricity: included
Specifics: The campsite is on the other side of the road from the site and is in poor condition as far as the meadows are concerned (depressions where a large lake forms when it rains).
Activities:
Since the campsite is about 20 km outside of Gothenburg, we used public transport to get to Gothenburg, which is absolutely no problem. In Gothenburg we visited the very beautiful old town "Haga" and looked around. In Haga in the Cafe Husaren there is the largest cinnamon roll in the world, called "Hagabulle". Of course we had to try them too. A Hagabulle is absolutely sufficient for two people to eat their fill. One day was planned for geocaching, in order to salvage the many solved question marks (81 pieces) with a fishing pole. However, we had to abandon the task of rescuing everyone because it would have taken far too long and we still had to ride our e-bikes back to the campsite.

Slowly but surely we are heading home again. Our next destination is in Trelleborg. On the way to Trelleborg we will cross our itinerary from the beginning in Malmö.
Now that the trip is definitely going home, a longer route was on the plan. The Autobahn is well developed and we had a pleasant drive ahead of us.

We will spend 1 night at this campsite in order to catch the ferry to Rostock early in the morning the next day.

The ferry from Trelleborg to Rostock awaits us early in the morning.
We had to get up early as we had to check in at the ferry terminal by 6.30am at the latest.

At 7.30 a.m. our ferry to Rostock leaves Trelleborg!
Checking in and loading went smoothly and the crossing could start on time.

If everything goes well, after 6 hours of crossing we will slowly have solid ground under our feet and wheels again.
The crossing was calm and pleasant with no rough seas, so we arrived in Rostock on time and were able to continue our journey.

On the ferry "FS Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" we continue on the Baltic Sea to Rostock. During the crossing we enjoy a rich breakfast on board. The ferry including breakfast costs us 259 euros!
We spent the time on the ferry eating breakfast, playing and reading. Unfortunately, it's the same here as everywhere else where the food is at the buffet and you can get as much as you want. There are people who fill their plates until they overflow and then throw half of them away.

So now we have reached the mainland again and we can continue on our journey.
Arrived at the ferry terminal, we went back to the mainland. Since three or four ferries had just docked, we had to be patient until the journey could be continued.

After leaving the ferry in Rostock, we still have to drive to Wustrau and move into our next quarters.
The drive from Rostock to the campsite went without incident. This is despite the fact that the motorway is not in very good condition. It rumbled and jerked on all sides and the pace had to be kept rather low.

We will stay 1 night at this small campsite and then continue our return journey.

The campsite is a fine but small place. The groundsman is very helpful and friendly. You can swim in the lake within a 5-minute walk. The village is exactly how we imagine a village in the former GDR to be.

After spending the night in Wustrau, we take big steps towards home. Our last stop in Nuremberg.
Now came one of the longest stretches of our journey. The journey went south on the A7. The further south we got, the more traffic there was. Nevertheless, the route could be completed without any problems with one stopover.

Here in Nuremberg is our last planned overnight stay before returning home.

The campsite is right next to the 1.FC Nürnberg football stadium and the DEL Club Nürnberg Ice Tigers ice hockey stadium.
If you want to leave early the next morning, you have a problem. The barrier doesn't open until 8am and we could see the line in front of it getting longer and longer!

But now the trip is finally going home to Bischofszell without another planned overnight stay.
We were also able to complete the last stretch without incident. The closer we got to Bregenz, the more traffic there was, as the summer holidays in the federal states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg began this weekend. We made one last stop at the motorway service area near Bregenz before we cycled the last few kilometers.

Hopefully we've gotten home safely. I already hope that we have taken a large backpack with memories and beautiful places home with us.
Happy and full of new impressions we are now back home and can state the following.
We covered a total of 4540 km (about 2000 km went through Germany twice)
We used diesel for 1065.- Fr. (thanks to the high diesel prices)
I would do the same again on a next tour like this. I would book and reserve the campsites and ferries and more in advance!
The duration of 3 nights per campsite has turned out to be optimal. There was enough time to see around the area.
